The new issue of the Italian journal Quaderni di Parapsicologia (QP), published by the Centro Studi Parapsicologici (http://cspbo.altervista.org/b/english.htm), has just been published (September 2011, Vol. 43, No. 1). It is the first issue edited by physician Massimo Biondi (http://www.pflyceum.org/38.html), who is well known for his high quality writings about parapsychology such as the books La Ricerca Psichica (Psychical Research, Rome: Il Minotauro, 2004) and Parapsicologia (Parapsychology, with Patrizio E. Tressoldi, Bologna: Il Mulino, 2007).
